Unforgettable Safari in Serengeti National Park
【Good】
- I had an incredibly valuable experience that I will never forget in my life! Thank you so much.
- Despite booking the tour the day before my trip, the quick response from the staff allowed me to make a smooth reservation.
- The tour members were all great people, which made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
- I had always dreamed of setting foot in the motherland of humanity at least once in my life, and seeing the vast panoramic view of the open plains with my own eyes. It was a thrilling experience.
- The meals provided were hearty and delicious, allowing me to enjoy a satisfying dining experience.
- The hospitality of the tour company was excellent. In particular, Naomi was very considerate, speaking with me kindly, showing me around the local market, and negotiating with Tanzanians who couldn’t speak English. I was very pleased with her hospitality.
【Requests】
- I would have appreciated it if I had been informed of the tour schedule beforehand (at the quotation stage), such as what time we needed to wake up in the morning. Since we were told the schedule for the next day only on the night before, I was worried each night whether I would get enough sleep.
- On the first day, I was told that I could take a shower, but the shower only had cold water, which was too cold, so I couldn’t use it.
【To those planning to go on a safari in Serengeti National Park】
- The temperature difference between day and night is significant, so I recommend bringing warm clothing. If you tend to get cold easily, you might need a down jacket for the night.
- Always keep your valuables with you. One of the tour members had their USD stolen while they were eating lunch, leaving it in the safari car.
- There are souvenir shops along the tour, but the prices are generally high, so I wouldn’t recommend them. There are some souvenir sections inside the departure gate at Kilimanjaro Airport. If you ask the tour company, they might guide you to a local market.
- The departure procedures at Kilimanjaro Airport take a long time, and it’s not possible to line up in an orderly manner. I recommend arriving at the airport with plenty of time to spare.
- At Addis Ababa Airport (Ethiopia) during the layover, my return flight was delayed by a full day due to overbooking by the airport. I recommend planning your return schedule with extra time in mind.

The guides were both knowledgeable and attentive, the accommodations were comfortable, and every detail of the trip was perfectly organized. The wildlife sightings were amazing, and I felt well cared for throughout. I highly recommend Makini Tanzania Safaris for an unforgettable adventure!

It has been an incredible and unforgettable experience.
Our safari experience has been wonderful. It has been just as we expected. Makini has helped us whenever we needed it and made our safari as comfortable as possible. We have seen many animals thanks to our guide Elías, who is a great professional, very friendly and a great driver.
The accommodation in the campsites has been good, everything was always ready upon our arrival. Our cook has always been attentive and the food was always good. In general, we can only say that it has been an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

3 night safari
We did a 3 night safari and it was absolutely incredible. Our driver and guide Calvin was super friendly, helpful, informative and we managed to spot the big 5! :)
The company sorted everything from accommodation, food, airport transfer etc. I would defo recommend and book with them again if I came back to Tanzania.
As an add on you can do the hot air balloon experience which I would say is a must. It initially seems pricey but it is well worth the money!|

Amazing experience, lovely safari guide and chef
We did a 5 day safari through tarangire national park, Serengeti national park, ngorongoro crater national park and lake manyara national park, our safari guide Simon was so lovely and helpful, getting us amazing views of a range of animals and allowing ample time to stop and take photos, also very educational, answering any questions we had. The meals were perfect provided by our great chef Pascoe who made our breakfast lunch and dinner everyday! Massive thank you to them for making our safari experience so memorable.

fantastic experience
We went on a 3-day safari through the Serengeti Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were picked up from the airport and taken to our hotel after the safari. We had a briefing the evening before the tour, which was a bit chaotic but everyone was very friendly and helpful. Otherwise, the tour was very well organized. We went on safari every morning at around 7 a.m. and saw lots of animals that we hadn't expected. There was breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always freshly cooked and it tasted fantastic. In the evening we slept in a camp, we were provided with mats, tents and sleeping bags. We had a great time, a great adventure and lots of great memories. Thank you!
